Patch 7.3.5 Content Hub

Patch 7.3.5 Overview

Welcome to our Patch 7.3.5 content hub for all PTR datamining and discoveries! Here we will outline all of the important content coming in the latest World of Warcraft: Legion patch, with links to Wowhead's PTR coverage, guides, tools, and database.

There is a lot of Allied Race data in the 7.3.5 PTR, and while this could point to getting Early Access via Battle for Azeroth preorders (similar to Demon Hunters and Legion), they will likely not be available at the start of 7.3.5. There has been no official statement from Blizzard on the Allied Race data, except that it is a Battle for Azeroth feature.

We've written a post speculating that Patch 7.3.5 could go live on January 16th.

Leveling Revamp

The outdoor and dungeon leveling experience receives major changes in Patch 7.3.5:

Zone Scaling: The quests in each zone will scale up to a cap. However, the minimum level for each zone varies from zone to zone and you'll need to achieve a certain level before starting certain zones. In addition, they are now letting you do certain expansions in a different order if you choose.

Transmogrification

Trial of Style Season 2: New rewards for this transmogrification holiday are more interesting than their Season 1 counterparts--they are recolors of popular sets, or complete versions of formerly-incomplete sets.

New Quest Weapon Appearances: As part of the leveling revamp, many low-level quests have weapons added, to aid those without heirlooms. However many of these weapons serve a transmogrification purpose, as they resemble weapons removed in Cataclysm or are brand-new recolors.

Ulduar Timewalking

Ulduar Changes on Patch 7.3.5 PTR: Ulduar is a new Timewalking Raid in 7.3.5. Ulduar is no longer separated into 10 and 25 difficulties and now only supports a Normal difficulty. As a result, all achievements are consolidated into one size, and the old 10 and 25 player achievements are now Feats of Strength.

As a result of this change, both the 10 and 25 player rewards are earned at the same time now via achievements:Под наблюдением rewards and

Retiring Artifact Weapons

Retiring Artifact Weapons: At some point in 7.3.5, likely towards the end of the patch, we will experience an in-game cinematic explaining why we stop using artifact weapons. Players are concerned what will happen to the hunter artifact pet Hati, and have made a Save Hati petition.

Professions

Cutscenes

Cinematics and cutscenes are some of the most anticipated content of a new patch. So far we have datamined the following:

Allied Race Intro and Unlock Scenarios: Each Allied Race has a special intro cutscene when a character is created, and the Nightborne have a few additional cutscenes explaining why they join the Horde.

Allied Races

Allied Races are a new feature announced at BlizzCon 2017 for Battle for Azeroth. However, four of the races have significant data updates in the 7.3.5 PTR data, so we are including them in this post. We do not know when these races are available. However, based on past history with Demon Hunters and preorders, one can speculate these Allied Races will be available to play as part of Battle for Azeroth preorder, sometime after 7.3.5 goes live but before Battle for Azeroth proper.

Unlock Requirements: To unlock each Allied Race, you must complete a relevant quest achievement and hit Exalted with the related faction. This achievement is marked as account-wide progress. You must also have a level 110 on that server, and have Battle for Azeroth purchased, to create that Allied Race.

Dark Iron and Zandalari

Not much is known about the Dark Iron and Zandalari Allied Races. From the official website:

Even more allies await in unexplored lands. As heroes of the Alliance adventure through Kul Tiras, they’ll have a chance to recruit the Dark Iron Dwarves. In Zandalar, champions of the Horde can convince the Zandalari Trolls to join them.

These will likely be available at a later point in Battle for Azeroth. We know a few details about these races:

Class Changes

Mythic+ Combat Resurrection Change: In an interview with Forbes two months ago, Morgan Day announced they were looking at how combat resurrections function in Mythic+ Dungeons. Now on the 7.3.5 PTR, combat resurrections are a shared resource in Mythic+ Dungeons, recharging every 10 minutes.

Whoa, it seems we might finally get a permanent non-profession dependant and everywhere-useable mailbox. Engineers have their own (1hr cd), there's the little boy we get on Argent Crusade's tournament with the pony (4h cd), there's the Garrison's Engineering hut one (+-4h cd but with charges, and you need materials to make more).

Was wondering when I would have time to even get the Argent tournament rep so I could unlock the boy+pony on some characters that aren't engineers...

But that title though, I will definitely get it, but as some others have said, Courier might sound better.

I wonder how a brand new player who just started playing wow deals with all this info 😂

The main heirloom I'm interested in is the fishing pole. I wonder how they'll retire it without handicapping the fact it provides some spectacular fishing benefits.

I obviously don't expect the traits that boost fishing of Broken Shore fish to remain nor am I expecting the super water walking or water form to remain intact... But who knows.

Enchanting mats were wiped instead of being transformed into the new types. This is horrible. I thought I was hacked.... no... it's a poor implementation of the patch instead! Why change enchanting and not any other professions! I hate these stupid nerfs!

I have a question and I didn't know where to post it so I'll put it here. Is there a place where we can find the MINOR WoW cutscenes? I'll give you some examples of those cutscenes to help you understand what I mean. One that comes to mind is when Eonar speaks to you through her sphere inside the Antorus raid. Or when Velen has flashbacks of Sargeras offering power and Kil'Jaeden chasing him. Or the Allied Races recruitment cutscenes(I know you have the allied races cutscenes here, but not any other minor cutscenes). Or the cutscene from when Illidan and Malfurion were babies. Thanks!
